Eviction order granted by the High Court allows Tshwane to reclaim the Centurion Taxi Rank for future development, addressing public health and safety concerns.
The City of Tshwane has secured a major legal victory after the High Court granted an eviction order against unlawful occupiers living on municipal land at the Centurion Taxi Rank, paving the way for the property's redevelopment and the removal of informal structures.
MMC for Corporate and Shared Services, Cllr Flora Monama, said the court order requires the occupiers to vacate the property within 30 days.
"Failure to do so will result in the Sheriff of the Court, with the assistance of the South African Police Service, carrying out the eviction, safely recording identities, and demolishing the unauthorised structures," Monama said.
The municipality described the ruling as a significant milestone in its efforts to reclaim public land that has been occupied unlawfully for several years.
